West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has issued a message to all the Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers and party supporters, urging them not to leave the councing stations.
Posting on X, Mamata sent out a rallying cry to her supporters while accusing the BJP of partnering with the Election Commission and the central forces to rig the election.
"Counting agents and candidates should not leave the counting centre. This is the BJP's plan, I have been saying this since yesterday that they will be shown ahead first. They have stopped counting at many places. Such machines have been found in Kalyani, where there is no match; atrocities are being committed against TMC from all sides through central forces," she said.

"Through SIR, they tried to steal votes, and even now, we are ahead by more than 100 seats, which is not being reported. Everything is being reported wrong. The Election Commission is working entirely as per its own will, and central forces are also with them. The police are also working with the central forces," she added.
Mamata's rallying cry comes in the midst of Bharatiya Janata Party's sheer dominance in the West Bengal election, with the Suvendu Adhikari-led party leading in almost 200 seats, whereas TMC has barely reached the 100 mark.
Despite the deficit, Mamata remains confident of a late victory and refuses to yield.
"I tell party workers that there is no need to feel disheartened; you will win after sunset. The counting of 2-4 rounds has taken place, the counting goes up to 14-18 rounds, and we will win. There is no need for anyone to be afraid," she concluded.
